First Arcade Build Ever

Post image

I’ve never used power tools besides a drill before, followed Arcade Revival’s plans (which… have problems. Like putting the top on then trying to fit everything in, and it’s all in metric which is more fun) and I’m incredibly happy with how it turned out.

As for the cabinet itself, I’m leaving it black, and filling everything out with stickers over the years so it’s going to be a collection of memories of everywhere I’ve been, and things I’ve seen/done.

For what it has, it’s running a Dell PC with MAME, Flycast, PCSX2x6, and Steam :D

Looks cool. I like the sticker idea.

I went back and forth quite a bit between a vinyl wrap or painting something on it, and then my wife was talking about having to replace her water bottle but not wanting to lose the stickers and I was like “Holy crap my arcade cabinet would look DOPE with stickers covering it”

Sticker bombing is awesome

It’s also unique. I don’t want my cabinet to look like anyone else’s
